In this paper, we deal with transient thermal stress problems of a spherical region under the condition that the continuum medium possesses spherically isotropic thermoelastic properties. For illustrative purposes, we have analyzed the transient thermal stress problems of solid and hollow spheres. From the numerical calculations it is shown that the thermal stress distributions vary considerably in accordance with the variation of the thermoelastic compliance constants.
